Realising that students may again take the lead in the Telangana movement, the JAC supported their bandh call on Wednesday though it had earlier agreed not to call bandhs for a while. Similarly, though it had earlier set January 28 as deadline for resignations, the JAC changed tack and supported the demand of students for immediate resignations.
On the orders of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti chief, Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao, TRS MLAs Harish Rao, Etala Rajender, K.T. Rama Rao and Ravinder Reddy and Praja Rajyam MLA, Maheshwar Reddy rushed to Speaker, Mr N. Kiran Kumar Reddy’s Banjara Hills residence on Tuesday and requested him to accept their resignations.
The Speaker said he needed more time to speak to MLAs individually.
Venugopal Reddy’s body was noticed by morning walkers, who found it lying before the auditorium and alerted the police. A native of Dosapahad village in Nalgonda, Venugopal Reddy was a final year MCA student at Lalitha Degree and PG College in Ghatkesar. He used to stay at his brother’s house in Yacharam.
The sudden developments have perturbed the K. Rosaiah government which had felt that it was regaining control of affairs in the state. It has also spoiled the plans of the Congress that was trying to rein in Telangana MLAs who had put in their papers. In the volatile situation, they will not be able to withdraw the resignations. Instead, they may press for acceptance of their resignations along with MLAs belonging to other parties.
The Union home minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, and the Governor, Mr E.S.L. Narasimhan, spoke to Mr Rosaiah on Tuesday about the latest developments.
